Pioneering member adopts online tool
A new Chamber member has become the first company in the UK to use an online assessment tool for a revolutionary approach to understanding safety culture and awareness within businesses. Chris Wrapson, of Health & Safety Secure, is the first in the UK to offer
online safety diagnostic tool “Health and Safety Index” to businesses in Birmingham and nationally. The Health & Safety Index is a Sydney-based online tool that
helps organisations understand and target specific areas of focus to enable health and safety improvements. Chris is a committed risk management specialist and
occupational safety professional with technical membership of IOSH providing advice to company directors driven by expansion, with focus on team engagement and leadership skills. Chris said: “I am excited by the potential of this simple
assessment tool which measures safety engagement to empower business owners to take a proactive role in improving safety culture in their organisations.” The Health and Safety Index is already being used
by a cross-section of businesses, but until now had not entered the UK market. Chris adds: “The best talent remains loyal to their
employer the more engaged and listened to they feel. Engaging directly with them and improving the communication and consultation between the key stakeholders can only have a long lasting positive effect on the fortunes of an organisation – particularly when it comes to safety.”
